These are the 10 best whiskey gift ideas!
Giving gifts to whisky lovers is a bit of a challenge - because they probably know the advantages of individual types better than you do. As a clever alternative, we recommend presents that underline, round off or complement the enjoyment of your favorite drink. But outstanding specialties can also be a nice gift for whisky fans.
nosing glasses
1.It is no coincidence that this gift is in pole position among our recommendations: a smell test gives gourmets a primary impression of their drink and prepares them for the first sip. The nosing glasses presented here are optimized for this ritual. The aromas of the whisky can develop unhindered in the curved goblet and it glides pleasantly into the mouth over the precisely crafted rim. In addition to single malt, blends or bourbon also come into their own here. However, the delicate, specially shaped goblets are not suitable for enjoying on the rocks. Here you can find out exactly which glass is suitable for which whisky.
designer tumblers
2. Fortunately, there is a suitable alternative: To mark its 25th anniversary, the Ritzenhoff brand has developed a range of glasses that has been continually added to and expanded since then. The designers of the individual models include names such as Claus Dorsch, Paul Garland and Adam Hayes. The range includes more than 15 tumblers with different motifs, among which you are guaranteed to find one that suits your whisky fan.
whiskey set
3.This recommendation goes in a similar direction: The Noblesse carafe from Spiegelau & Nachtmann is a true classic and is rightly one of the most popular whisky utensils. Its traditional design is reminiscent of times long past and the quality is literally heavy in the hand. Two similarly designed glasses complement the carafe and ensure that enjoyment can begin immediately after pouring.
whiskey pipette
4. This also applies to glass whisky pipettes - an indispensable accessory for diluting strong single malts and/or cask strength bottlings. They look very stylish in this version with gold, copper or platinum decoration.
cooling stones
5.Many whisky fans are faced with a dilemma when they want to temper single malts or blends without diluting the drink. Cooling stones are the perfect solution to this problem. Made of stainless steel, they stay cold for a particularly long time and can be used again and again. Our extra tip for this gift: buy a larger selection so that some of the cooling stones can be tempered while the others are in use.
sample set
6.There are many whisky gift sets, but none is like this one: the chic packaging alone makes it something special. The lockable wooden box contains five mini bottles of the finest Scottish whiskies with their respective tasting notes. All varieties come from the Pràban na Linne distillery - one of the last privately operated distilleries in the country.
Wall and map with distillery locations
7.If the recipient doesn't know where Pràban na Linne is, this gift can help. The approximately 40x60 cm wall map lists 124 active distilleries and invites viewers to discover Scottish whisky culture. The perfect reference work in poster form and a beautiful eye-catcher for the kitchen, living room or workroom.
Japanese whisky
8.Yes, you read that right! And maybe you can surprise your whisky fan with a Far Eastern present, just like many others who are not familiar with Japanese varieties. Their origins go back to 1934, when Masataka Taketsuru opened his country's first distillery. Today, Japanese whiskies are among the best in their field and are definitely in the higher price segment.
whisky tasting in a city of your choice
9.Last but not least, a tasting is a great gift. In our overview you will find offers with different focuses that apply to several cities in Germany - if desired, also at the recipient's home.
Buy your own land in Scotland
10. Is that possible? Yes, and it's really easy! Simply select the size of the plot and the recipient immediately becomes a Lord or Lady of their own land. This not only gives them a special title, but also helps to preserve Scotland's nature.
